Chapter 290 A Promise, A Chaos
The ruins of the legend of the hero are now covered with magic arrays, with patterns emerging from the ground from the inside out.
The twisted and contorted marks cracked the ground, emitting a dark, foul odor that enveloped the entire mountainside of the ruins.
One by one, the undead crawled out of the darkness and gathered into an army within the magic circle. They had no consciousness; their resurrection was only to give their lives to death.
With his pupils crystallized, Muban felt nothing in his flesh and blood. He connected all the magic array patterns inside the ruins with himself as the core, directing all his attacks at the phantom monster.
"It's because of you that those people from other worlds came knocking on our door!"
"It's all because of you that I've become such a miserable state!"
An uncontrollable rage ignited Muban's last vestige of human rationality. His body was now ravaged by the aura of death, and it was difficult for him to maintain any consciousness.
Muban knew that resistance was painful, and he knew that defying the will to die would only torment his soul, but Muban forced himself to stay awake. He wanted to see the phantom beast die before his eyes.
“I used to be wary of your power, but now I need nothing. I have everything death has given me, the power to truly entrust my desires, and a legion of like-minded people!”
"They will not betray us; they are all representatives of death, my comrades-in-arms."
His tone became flat, Muban's consciousness gradually faded, and the will commanded by death once again corrupted this land.
Black lightning shattered space, and inexplicably burning flames rose beneath the feet of the undead. Death's thirst for destruction grew stronger as the life force of the phantom beasts waned.
"You don't need to resist. You're already part of the dead, so why struggle?"
"Having endured hundreds of years of suffering, being deceived and exploited, and finally being forgotten, the meaning of your persistence until now is completely gone."
The life of the mythical beast has become one with the planet. If she returns to death, then the whole world will belong to death.
This otherworldly monster is the last obstacle to death seizing control of the world; the phantom beast cannot possibly survive until today.
As the black mountaintop cleaved through space and pierced into the ruins, the space where the phantom beast resided was completely shattered, exposing her to reality and causing her to become a living being once again.
The magic array created by the aura of death began to corrode the entire ruins. The mountains and trees were all scorched by the Netherfire and decomposed into death elements.
The phantom beast screamed in agony, but she couldn't move her body an inch. She had already died on this land, her life sustained only by the planet's elements.
Now, the connection between the ruins and the planetary elements is being gradually severed, and the phantom beast feels her consciousness rapidly fading, as if she can't remember anything at all.
She had been waiting for him all along, and the mythical beast had always remembered their promise.
He will come back, as his best friend.
The mythical beast waited for him for an unknown amount of time, so long that she forgot who she was waiting for.
Who exactly is the person I remember?
A flash of thunder tore through the gloom, and a radiant figure stepped through the air.
Through the darkness, the roar of the Giant of Light symbolizes life's indomitable spirit against death. Zeta is here, and no one is allowed to mistreat life.
"Lightning Descends from the Sky, Charge!"
With the sublimator in hand, the Ultra Medal spun and poured in, summoning a super-powered thundercloud atop the ruins to judge the sinners below.
The three colors of lightning blended together, striking down with overwhelming power, sweeping away all the dead and dispelling the aura of death. The hero of light descended.
"Muban, you better come out here!"
"Otherwise, once I find you, you won't have a chance to surrender!"
Ultraman Zeta has finally arrived at the place where his journey in another world began. This is the last place where Muban is hiding, and he will no longer have a chance to escape.
The patterns on the ground still tried to erode it, but Zeta, brimming with pure crystal energy, stomped out a burst of light. The healing magic was imbued with a strong life force, and its unstoppable force was not something the undead dared to underestimate.
"Ultraman, my final enemy. Yugi Junsei was the only thing that could hurt me, I never expected there would be such a cause and effect."
Seeing that Zeta was relentless, Muban once again activated the magic circle to summon the undead. He couldn't let anyone disturb his great cause before the phantom beast died.
Several undead behemoths burst from the ground, letting the aura of death seep into their bodies, filling their broken and scattered skins.
Each undead monster has lost its own consciousness; it is resurrected by the call of death and acts to devour all the light before it.
The roaring fangs were all wreathed in evil energy, and even the dead dimensional beast Huanluo reappeared before Zeta, arming itself with its eerie and deadly dimensional energy, rushing towards the light with a stench of death.
"I don't have time to waste with you! You've lost your last chance to atone for your sins!"
A golden storm erupted across the heavens and earth, and a super tornado radiated outwards from Zeta as its core.
The flowing light bestowed by the Courageous Pure Crystal pierced through the swirling energy, instantly killing all the undead behemoths that were swept up, leaving them with no chance to fight back.
Zeta's rage is no longer bound by any conditions; the Golden Storm can be unleashed with battle intent, and the Pure Crystal of Courage provides maximum energy support. It also abhors the act of death defiling life.
Someone walked over, and his figure looked so familiar... Have I seen him somewhere before?
The phantom beast saw that beam of light; it was the most dazzling thing she could see before she completely lost consciousness.
That light reminded her of something.
The sweeping golden storm, combined with the dual blessings of Zestim and the Crystal of Valor, allows Zeta to step into its midst and transform into the Storm Lord.
Wherever it passed, light illuminated the earth, and golden healing energy spread to every inch of soil, causing evil spirits to retreat and eradicating all their aggressive desires.
Zeta could transform into each form once to eliminate these undead one by one, but that would only increase the time spent fighting and would not bring him any honor in the battle.
Driven by his own selfish desires, Muban deceived humanity, manipulated monsters, and plunged the entire world into danger time and again.
Zeta didn't know what had happened to Muban, but whatever he had been through would not lessen Muban's grave sins.
"Come out! Face me, face your enemy!"
"You seek death, don't you? Why can't you face my life?"
Zeta shattered space with a single punch, splitting the entire ruin in two. The radiant trail separated the mountain, exposing Muban and all his death arrays to Zeta's eyes.
The golden storm blows through it, bringing healing to life and proclaiming the end of death.
The magic circle created by the aura of death vanished as the wind blew it away, and healing magic returned to the phantom being's body, allowing her to feel warmth again.
"Is that you, my friend?"
"But if it really is you, why don't you remember me? Didn't we make a promise to meet again?"
The phantom beast's body was healed by the flowing light, but its life, ravaged by time, could not be saved.
When the connection between life and the planetary elements is severed, the mythical beast has no chance of survival.
"Impossible, impossible! Why are you so powerful! You don't even belong to this world!"
"What makes you think you can stand against me? I am the embodiment of death, the ruler of death throughout the world!"
"You're nothing but a monster from elsewhere. What makes you think you deserve the recognition of all life in the world?"
The undead army, on which high hopes were placed, was utterly defeated by Zeta. The aura of death was swept away by the golden storm, leaving no trace. Now, only Muban's resentment remains to resist.
Muban's resistance made Zeta feel foolish; Muban still hadn't grasped reality and was still deceiving himself.
"That's enough, Muban. Confess. I don't want to use Ultraman's power to harm a human like you."
"Go to hell, all of you go to hell."
"Even if it means death, I will make you all disappear."
Tormented by death to the point of delirium, and now being berated by the representative of life, Muban is unwilling to accept such an end.
I absolutely cannot accept that all my efforts over the past ten years have been taken away by an outsider.
An otherworldly monster changes his life, a group of otherworldly thugs twist his mind, and in the end, he even has to be judged by an otherworldly giant.
Muban would rather die than accept this fate.
Muban used self-mutilating magic to tear his own skin, staining his hands with mutated blood, turning himself into a medium between life and death, and killing the world to be buried with him.
The aura of death surged forth once more, using Muban's dying life as a catalyst to unleash a riot on this land connected to the planet's elements.
Black lightning bolts shot out again, but instead burrowed underground to begin destroying the planet's core.
Zeta and Muban were both on high alert, as the fate of the world was at stake.
However, the mythical beast didn't care about the world's direction. In the last moments of her life, she pondered what she had been doing all this time.
What have I been through? Who am I? Why am I here?
I think I encountered a spirit that helped me and saved me...
He protected the world and was hailed as a hero. He later left, making a promise to meet me again.
But now, I can't remember anything.
I endured the pain of death, just to wait for the day the promise would be fulfilled, but no one ever told me which day that would be.
I regained the healing power to live and wanted to fulfill the promise of my destiny, but I didn't even know who I was, and I had completely forgotten the one I was supposed to meet.
Do I still have the right to keep my promise to him?
The phantom beast's body regained life under the healing light, but this made her unhappy at all.
If you forget everything, what's the point of living?
How can I possibly remember you? How long must I wait for you...? Someone tell me, someone help me.
The phantom beast watched Zeta and Muban fighting, not understanding the meaning of their confrontation, and wondering if they could help it.
Whether it's healing or the threat of death, the phantom beast doesn't care about these things now. She just wants to know why she's persisted until now, and who she's waiting for.
He looks a lot like Zeta, but Zeta doesn't recognize him at all.
Zeta might know the man she wants to see, but she might not live to see him again.
Unexpectedly, the reason for her persistence was that the mythical beast no longer cherished life. There was nothing left in the world for her to remember, except for a legend about a hero.
Yes, I remember that legend, I've always remembered it, and I've never forgotten it, no matter how much time has passed.
A hero from another world descends upon this world to save everyone and protect peace.
He is brave and gentle, and all living beings in the world, whether human or monster, can receive his help.
The hero eventually left; he had his own world to protect, but he did not forget this world, the creatures he had encountered, or the life he had shared with us.
He made a promise to me, saying he was a hero because that's what his companions called him.
The one I'm waiting for is the legendary hero.
The mythical beast seemed to remember something.
She wanted to know what had happened in the past, that she was a witness to that legendary event, and that the story of the hero had happened right beside her.
What did I experience back then? Is there any way to remember? This is my last wish to live.
There must be a way to find out. Ultraman from another world is standing right in front of him. He is the best evidence of time travel.
Since Zeta can travel through time, then I must be able to as well.
She absolutely has to! There's no point in living if she doesn't find a way to know about her past experiences.
Restarting a time-space summoning is not a difficult task for the mythical beast. Ultraman Zeta completed the summoning with her help. If it worked the first time, why not try again!
All that's needed is a powerful enough energy, far more powerful than the first summoning.
The mythical beast has lost its own power, but it still has a connection with the planet's elements; it needs new energy.
The magic circle that Muban was manipulating caught her attention.
"How long are you going to go on your madness! Do you want to destroy the whole world?"
"What does this have to do with me? I just want to see you all perish! Hahahaha!"
Zeta ignored Muban's madness and raised his hand to unleash the Zestiem Ray in an attempt to dispel Muban's magic circle.
The crystal-blue light, brimming with the energy of pure courage and righteousness, and the healing magic, clashing with the brutality of death, created an unprecedented spatial-temporal explosion.
Zeta sensed something was wrong; the energy within him was in complete chaos, and he tried to retract the Zestiem Ray, but his body wouldn't obey him.
"What's going on, Zeta? Why is the energy pile in front of us getting bigger and bigger?"
"I don't know either, Haruki. I can't control the energy in my body."
"Hahaha, retribution! Fate! You will all be swallowed by death! I am the winner!"
As the mixed energy clusters became increasingly out of control, Muban tried to evacuate, only to find himself unable to move an inch.
Muban was stuck in place, serving as a representative of death energy to power the chaotic magic circle. He couldn't escape and could only be drained dry as one of the power sources.
"Damn it, what is this thing? My body... Ah!!!"
As the chaos gradually took shape, Zeta and Muban's energy was nearly drained, and the mixture of life and death escalated the danger of this chaos to a level beyond that of a planet.
Zeta's chest crystal flashed a red warning, Muban's face turned pale and he was exhausted. The situation took an unexpected turn and spiraled out of control.
"Beria's Twilight! Cut that thing down!"
"What the hell? Why did you make such a commotion right from the start?!"
Belial Twilight, who was sleeping peacefully, was suddenly woken up by Haruki. He was about to get angry, but when he saw what Zeta was fighting, he was stunned.
As the power of chaos continued to increase, the sky and space were distorted, and unknown things of murky color and dazzling blackness were rampaging everywhere.
Beria knew that if he didn't act now, it would be too late.
"Disappear, you ugly monster!"
The Desium energy was fully charged as soon as it came up, and Belial Twilight used its greatest power to launch the Desium Slash, the purple light blade unleashing the super energy that shattered space.
Beria was on edge, because he himself didn't know if he could handle this thing.
The introduction beyond space has arrived, and everything is complete.
The chaos cleaved apart by Desium's slash exploded, spreading a chaotic burst of light from the ruins to the entire world.
Time was forgotten by all living beings at that moment, and when everyone awoke, no one knew what had happened in that chaos.
